Widgets — you're familiar with them from the desktop. Small, focused Web applications that are easy to install and use. Perfect for the small screen. Nokia has now extended the S60 browser engine to behave as a runtime platform in its own right.

Web Runtime is arriving with selected new devices and will be made available for millions of existing users through the Nokia Software Update service. Web Runtime is great for the small screen - a simple mobile web technology that can really work for you.

The screencast describes how to download and install the tools required, illustrates some of the features of a Web widget, reviews the content of a Web widget, and provides tips on development and testing.
